We're at Voyageurs National Park in upstate Minnesota, about as far north as you can get before Canada. We arrived yesterday and so far we've enjoyed the rugged beauty of this area. The only civilization here seems to be fishing and hunting resorts, so we're going to get in the spirit tomorrow and take a small boat out on Ash River to do some fishing. And yes, although I can't eat them, I plan to come home with more than Dave!

Along the Ash River here are cabins, little RV parks , restaurant and that's about it. Here are a few pictures we took this morning on our recon drive. Cell phone coverage is non-existent and internet is not far behind. But the views more than make up for it.
